The emblem outlives the club
1930–2010 · 58 records · 0.7 a year
A silver cup, a log house, a pane of glass and a newspaper banner carry the mark through eighty years when almost nobody photographed it.
See these years in the archive’s year chart, with the search and the kinds
At 0.7 records a year this is one of the emptiest stretches in the collection. The emblem did not stop being used here; it stopped being photographed and filed. What is missing is dated artwork — the archive records where we have looked.
